So I was feeling a bit STUMPED on how to make these next few weeks really special. And then I was feeling like DOWN that Advent started this past Sunday and we didn't even pull out our wreath yet. BUT instead of beating myself up about it or letting myself get goofy and anxious, I decided I would simply go on the hunt for some practical things that we could do this year and DO THEM (even if we are starting late)! Here are some of my favorite finds. I bunched them into three groups:-Acts of Service-Crafts/Decorations-Daily ReflectionsJoin me in making it a great Advent, Catholic Mama. It's not too late.

------------------------------------------------

ACTS OF SERVICE

Adopt an individual or a family in need. Many parishes and organizations have programs set up and make it easy to help others. Also consider adopting a family in need in your parish or school who may not be on any official list, but could really use some extra kindness and love.

Use Kindness Elves (call them Advent Angels?) to encourage daily or weekly acts of kindness. LOVVVEEEE this! Read more at TheImaginationTree.org.

* Don't forget to lead by example. Start by doing a few acts of kindness for your own kids. Check out 10-surprises-for-kids-that-wont-cost-you-a-dime.Prepare a Manger for Baby JesusA great activity for kids to do during Advent is have a manger for Baby Jesus. Every time they do a good deed or make a sacrifice, they get to add a piece of straw to the manger. Hopefully by Christmas Baby Jesus has a nice soft bed to lay on! Read more at Catholic Icing.

CRAFTS / DECORATIONS

Set up a manger scene in your home. When I was young, it was my job to set up the manger scene when the decorations came out. After my mom passed away, my dad gave me the manger scene and now I think of her every year when we put it up.

Susan Brown is a mother of eight children who currently resides in the Philadelphia area. She has moved ten times since she has been married. In this talk Susan speaks about the practices of 'offering it up' and 'sacrificial love', related to her children and her marriage. She shares wisdom and insight that she has gained from growing in her faith with a great sense of humor and a 'tell it like it is' way.
